Turkish Hackers - Google Can't or Won't Stop Them

Bogus accounts & ads ... Google in rush to resolve

[mortgagemax]

Hotels / Dating and other industries and keywords are being bombarded by Hackers from Turkey. They set up multiple accounts and new ads constantly. Google removes them at their editorial leisure. However the ads keep coming back in large quantities. They most certainly use stolen credit cards and dont pay a penny for these listings. However they get paid from multiple affiliates and make a killing.

This is destroying the adwords relevancy and eliminating the ability to bid on certain kewords.

Google has shown minimal resolve to rid these bogus ads. This has been going on for weeks. No one at Google works late on this. Google security will not work weekends for this.

Example: Keyword = dating ... most ads from top - down are Bogus!

Why doesn't Google stop this?

Hi guys,

What ads are from the Turk? I havent see any here for some while. He might have one running with a fake URL but i havent seen the problem with 3 or 5 ads running at the same time. Have you?

[toddb]

What ads are from the Turk?

They typically have directed traffic to a particular affiliate program, using a redirect. That is, they use his own domain in the display URL, but his site redirects to the affiliate program.

And they typically are targeted at last-minute travelers.
